ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Uncalibrated Cruise 1 Images from 2004

NASA's ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECKOUT OSIWAC 2 CR1 EDR V1.0 dataset contains uncalibrated image data in DN units. The data was acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during its CRUISE 1 phase from June to September 2004. This version supersedes a previous delivery after reprocessing following an external peer review in October 2018.

Use Cases

• Instrument calibration analysis based on uncalibrated image data in DN units
• Commissioning phase performance assessment based on data from the CRUISE 1 mission phase
• Raw image data processing for targets of opportunity observed during the specified time period

Strengths

• Data covers a defined time range from 2004-06-07 to 2004-09-05
• Dataset is versioned (V1.0) and supersedes a previous delivery after reprocessing
• Source is the authoritative NASA organization

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is described as uncalibrated, requiring further processing for scientific use
